Eddie Howe has said Romelu Lukaku should have been dismissed during Manchester United’s 1-0 victory.
Howe said: “I thought the first tackle was a yellow card. He was very late on Nathan. Then he picked up a clear yellow. He should have been off the pitch.”
United were not at their best, and were thankful to David De Gea for repelling the Bournemouth with several good saves.
Howe said: “The players delivered the gameplan really well and we looked like we had a real cutting edge. We created chances right up until the end.”
He added: “They have an outstanding goalkeeper who made a number of good saves and maybe we could have done better in and around their box, but when you consider the opposition and where were playing, I was very pleased with players.”
